Choose the opposite meaning of the word: Segregation

The word Segregation refers to the act of setting someone or something apart from others or keeping different groups separate. Integration is the most precise antonym because it describes the process of combining or uniting different groups into a single, unified whole.

• (A) Appreciation: This means to recognize the full worth of something or to be grateful, which does not relate to the concept of physical or social separation.
• (B) Union: While "Union" does imply joining together, it is a broader term that refers to the state of being joined. In linguistic and social contexts, Integration is the specific and direct opposite of Segregation.
• (C) Collecting: This refers to the act of gathering things together in one place, but it does not necessarily imply the deep social or structural unity that is the opposite of segregation.
